MANDOM 2012-2013 NBA Coach of the Year: Erik Spoelstra

Spo took a championship team and made them better. Of course Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra has the best player in the NBA on his roster, another guy in the top 10 and another in the top 15-20, but he played a part in their success this season as well.

He embraced the philosophy of "positionless" basketball and focused on the offensive strengths of his players. The Heat continue to have one of the league's better defenses as well. Ripping off a 27 game win streak and leading the NBA in wins during the regular season is nothing to overlook either. He may give corny speeches but he's improved as a coach, his team dominated all others and for that he gets my coach of the year vote.

i have no prob with Spo being coach of the year...right now I still think Thibodeau is just amazing at taking with he has and making the best out of it. They play with that next man up intensity, that you really only see in places like Miami, and San Antonio.
